Azure File Storage

Azure File Storage is a fully managed serverless file storage service offered by Microsoft.

You can use Azure File Storage as a source for Import and Data Flow, or as a target for Export and Data Flow.

Establishing Connection

To create connection with Azure File Storage enter the Account name and select the Authentication type. Skyvia supports both Account Key and SAS Token authorization for Azure File Storage. By default, the connection uses the Account Key authorization, but if you want to provide limited access for Skyvia, use the SAS Token authorization.

Creating Connection

To connect to Azure File Storage, specify the following parameters:

  • Account Name — Azure storage account name.

File Masks

When you use Azure File Storage as CSV source, you can specify a file mask using a date/time template instead of selecting a file. When integration runs, it will search the file in the folder by substituting the current date to the mask.
